Turned into a rat at the end of Emmy’s second adventure, Emmy and the Home for Troubled Girls, Evil Miss Barmy is determined to make Emmy pay. That Miss Barmy is one self-absorbed lady, worse even, than Cruella DeVil. She’s so evil her snivelling, devoted sidekick Cheswick can’t figure out why she wants so much revenge on Emmy. But what Miss Barmy REALLY wants is to be human, and beautiful, again.
Miss Barmy steals Sissy, one of Emmy’s rat friends, because Sissy has the ability to make Miss Barmy Human again…in the same way that Raston Rat can turn humans into rats.
With her human friends Ana and Joe, two elderly Aunts, her best rat friend Raston and an army of rats and bats, Emmy stages an improbable rescue. It’s improbable, but it’s the only plan they’ve got!

| If you liked Emmy, Joe and Ratsy don’t miss their first two adventures. Ratsy makes whining fun! Talking rats is kind of a stretch and Miss Barmy is evil in a cartoon-like way…a lot like Cruella DeVil…but the real story is the friendship between Emmy, Joe, Ratsy and the other animals. Sometimes, you forget the characters are animals. 101 Dalmatians and Mrs. Frisby are two more animal books that imagine what a society of animals would be like. | |||
